Brown Rice Salad

Let me start by saying that I Love Rice( fried rice, jollef rice, white rice and stew) but my love for rice has affected my waist line. So still am on the part to weigh loss, I have been experimenting and finding some yummy food in the process. I am reducing my rice intake staying aware from carbs but being nigerian you know we love our rice. so I decided that instead of giving up rice completely maybe I would try brown rice. Trust me this recipe will make you start to eat brown rice. At the end if done correctly, it should taste a little bit like chipotle brown rice burrito.
